      Season 7 – Call the Midwife

      2018 Drama List
      100% 5 Reviews Tomatometer 95% Fewer than 50 Ratings Audience Score Adapted by Heidi Thomas from the best-selling memoirs of Jennifer Worth, this drama series is a moving, funny, colorful look at midwifery and family in 1950s East End London. It follows newly qualified midwife Jenny, who joins an eccentric, lovable community of nuns who are nurses at Nonnatus House. Jenny is surprised to find herself at a convent -- she thought she was being sent to a small private hospital -- and is initially daunted by her surroundings, most notably the formidable Sister Evangelina and the unconventional Sister Monica Joan. But Jenny gradually begins to find her way and develops incredible friendships among the nurses, as they are drawn into the lives and homes of the women and families they treat.

      Michael Hogan Daily Telegraph (UK) Call the Midwife is a triumph: a series created by, starring and largely about women. Rated: 4/5 Sep 28, 2018 Full Review Lucy Mangan Guardian Call the Midwife is one ruthlessly efficient emotion-harvesting machine. Rated: 4/5 Sep 28, 2018 Full Review Deborah Ross The Mail on Sunday (UK) Midwife is super-clever because, just as it's about to lose you, it pulls you back via the most extraordinary tugs to the heartstrings. Feb 1, 2018 Full Review Alison Rowat The Herald (Scotland) Heidi Thomas's drama works because it delivers harsh truths about how rotten life used to be in the "good old days" at the same time as giving off a comforting glow of humanity. Jun 28, 2018 Full Review Euan Ferguson Observer (UK) All might pan out at the end, with Trixie, Spry and Jaunty resetting their caps with determined joy and tucking into an inedible slab of celebratory lardcake, but not before we'd delved, long and harrowing, into bleakness.

      Bla M One of my favorite seasons. These last two episodes... The writing is just out of this world! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/16/22 Full Review simonomis Has to be one of the saddest seasons! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/30/22 Full Review nancy n Honestly, this show is so endearing. The narration, set, characters, story lines, but mainly the characters. What a touching reminder that shows so morally uplifting are still being made. I look forward to each episode and find a place in my heart for the lessons learned . Can't say enough good things about it! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member love this show, not only entertaining, but informative.
